Need some advice on the best way to set out my common rafters for a pitch roof I'm doing, the only thing I don't know is the correct way to set out, I know how to cut the birds mouth and use the angle for this roof which is 17.5 degrees, the wall plate on the new block work is on and strapped but the wall plate on the existing house wall is not on yet, do I cut my common rafters and then fix the wall plate underneath them? I just don't know how high to put the wall plate of the floor, Oh and if I bird mouth the seat cut on the commons do I have to bird mouth the top cut aswell, I just don't want to change the angle or muck it up
Hope I explained it ok lol not easy typing it as to saying it out Loud!
Would love to see some comments
